重离子碰撞中涡度的极化探测

Polarization probes of vorticity in heavy ion collisions

Barbara Betz, Miklos Gyulassy, Giorgio Torrieri

摘要:

我们讨论的信息,可以推断出从测量粒子(超子或矢量介子)极化在超相对论核碰撞。我们描述了偏振对初始条件、流体动力学演化和平均自由程的敏感性,并发现可观测的偏振对系统演化的所有细节和阶段都很敏感。我们建议,实验调查涵盖生产平面和反应平面极化,以及射流相关的粒子在由射流和粒子方向定义的平面中的极化,可以帮助解开这个可观察到的因素。对能量和快度极化的扫描也可能指向系统性质的变化。

英文摘要:

We discuss the information that can be deduced from a measurement of particle (hyperon or vector meson) polarization in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions. We describe the sensitivity of polarization to initial conditions, hydrodynamic evolution and mean free path, and find that the polarization observable is sensitive to all details and stages of the system's evolution. We suggest that an experimental investigation covering production plane and reaction plane polarizations, as well as the polarization of jet-associated particles in the plane defined by the jet and particle direction, can help in disentangling the factors contributing to this observable. Scans of polarization in energy and rapidity might also point to a change in the system's properties.
